  • Sister Rosetta Tharpe played this song (March 20, 1915 - October 9, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and recording artist. A pioneer of twentieth-century music, Tharpe attained great popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings that were a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and rhythmic/early rock accompaniment. She became gospel music's first crossover artist and its first great recording star, referred to later as "the original soul sister" and "the godmother of rock and roll". She was an early influence on figures such as Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.[6][4] Added 12/31/20- Some people think this version of the song heritage is correct. en.wikipedia.o....
    "The Lonesome Road" is a 1927 song with music by Nathaniel Shilkret and lyrics by Gene Austin, alternately titled "Lonesome Road", "Look Down that Lonesome Road" and "Lonesome Road Blues." It was written in the style of an African American folk song.
    The lyricist and composer were both extremely popular recording artists. Gene Austin estimated he sold 80 million records, and Nathaniel Shilkret's son estimated his father sold 50 million records. Joel Whitburn lists recordings by Austin, Bing Crosby, Ted Lewis, and Shilkret (see list of recordings below) as being "charted" at Numbers 10, 12, 3 and 10, respectively.[1] There are no reliable sales figures that can be used to verify or dispute any of the estimates above.

      @@macisaac-crusoe-books9711 Surely it's pretty obvious. Rhiannon Giddens has a great voice - has been critically acclaimed worldwide. She has researched a lot of the old roots music and has revived it so we can again listen to it. Look up Wiki to see her achievements. You don't have to like her, but to say she "does a horrible job" is just ridiculous. When I first read your comment I thought you were just stirring - then read a second comment further down. Hence me comment "You must be having a bad day." Pretty simple my friend.
      And yes I've seen her live twice (not in the US).

Maybe you should Google the song, research it, see who wrote it, listen to the original and the dozens of variations over the decades, you know actually educate yourself on it instead of just thinking that I should be insulted for expressing my thoughts about the fact that I don`t like the way that she has trashed the song

    You mention the Scots ,Irish,etc heritage but fail to state the obvious. She's black. One of the biggest influences of all. Why you yanks are so bigotted I will never know. Yes she is black and all the rest and bloody good and a great performer and very easy to look at. I wish her all the luck coming to her.

      yeah! Rhiannon is light skined 'cause her parents are pure white dad and black mom as I've read they just married when laws about forbidden interracial couples were changed in their state ..I can' t imagine how Rihannon suffered...But here she is... the prettiest and most talented hybrid ever!!!

      @robinclarke4734 4 роки тому +3

      You call it what you like! I don't care , any colour is good with me. It depends on the person inside. Rhiannon is ' light skinned' but her music is influenced by her background which patently, is black. So what? A great musician and entertainer. Emancipation in America was 150 years ago. Why still the predice?

      @@allanbriggs807 no Allen I just know the song and she is ruining it, I mean she is welcome to trash it however she wants to in her interpretation but that doesn`t mean I have to like it. I personally think it is a shame to take a song that is almost 100 years old and totally screw up the tempo, the arrangement and the whole vibe of the some. Maybe if she is as good as everyone seem to think she can come up with some more original music of her own.
